Where can I buy an X-Ray Protection Bag in London (UK)?

2011-12-26 9:38 pm
I am a professional travel photographer with a problem. You see, I still use film for my work and I recently lost my x-ray protection bag, which I used when passing through airport security to protect my film (I often use high-ISO rolls). I've had no luck finding any stores that sell them over here (in the Netherlands) but I'll be passing over to London for the New Year period.

So, would any of you know where I could find the x-ray bag I need?

check camera shops. Can't give you specifics, but your favorite search engine will find one for you.

By the film, shoot and have it processed in London. No need for protection

the X-ray bag is useless. You should use a normal plastic bag for the inspection.

One more thing, Films must be hand-carried,this statement is usually said when you ask the retailers about the X-Ray issues.

If you are using ASA 400 or Lower, then a small transparent plastic bag is enough because of the regulations of security, you should refer the GB Ordinance of Airport Security.

The Lead bags just raises too many questions because of the "terrorism"-mistrust.

Higher than ASA 400 will be treated manually, you only need to make a request (From the passage, Parigi and Chicago just be in the worst case). You really don't need these bag.

Professional camera shops like Grays of Westminster will sell them.
Why use one? If the operator can't see inside a bag on the scanner screen he'll just increase the dose till he c-a-n see inside. You can't hide stuff at airports. I worked in one for ten years.
I've never had a problem even with 800 ISO films.
